This is the seventh summer school organised by the Historical Sociolinguistics Network (HiSoN) and it will offer seven courses by leading experts on modern and historical sociolinguistics, aimed at postgraduate students and young (at heart!) researchers.

The venue is the University of Agder's Metochi study centre, a former monastery on the Greek island of Lesbos.

Classes will take place in the morning and early evening and you will have the opportunity to present your own research at a special session.

Our teachers and modules in 2013 will be:

Peter Trudgill (Agder) on Contact-related Processes of Change in the History of English
